안녕하세요.. 리더 alex 입니다.. 지난 주.. 스터디 뒷풀이 참.. 재미났던거 같아요..^^ 날씨 춥습니다.. 모두들 감기 조심...       이번주 토픽은   Topic 1. Things to Do While You're Young   I will show you my short list of things to do while you’re young. The following lines are just randomly numbered. Basically, I’m making this list because I wanted to know what to do while young and stupid. I asked my father and a lot other adult friends. They told me some of these things. So when I had written then down I thought I should make a list for you, dear readers. And this list is not something that you just MUST do. It’s just great ideas and tips to what would be nice to do while young and stupid. Enjoy.   1. Don’t get married before 30. 2. If you go to college: Take it seriously because not finishing is the worst thing I have ever done (friend of mine) 3. Drink, have fun and crank your favorite music! 4. Pull an all nighter with your best friend on a beach. This is so nice and very funny.    You could also do this with a girlfriend or after a party. 5. Do not get arrested for drunk driving or drugs. Actually, do not get arrested for anything! 6. Take a road trip with a few of your friends. This creates good memories and is very funny and relaxing.    Roadtrips lets you see new places you haven’t discovered yet, and it also helps you get more social with your friends. 7. Always use protection and contraceptives. STDs are something that you, most likely,    have to live with the rest of your life. Take care of yourself. 8. Stay off drugs!! These will ruin your life. And you don’t want that to happen. 9. Be active socially and politically.    This way you will feel sacrifised and also be remembered as a good and social person. 10. Take a lot of pictures.     TAKE A LOT OF PICTURES and hide them a place they won’t be lost! Pictures from your youth is the BEST. 11. Never start smoking or drinking. These habits will mess with you and give you a lot of problems that you don’t want. 12. Travel and see the world, if this is possible. The world is fantastic.      You’ve got to see somewhere else than you live and pictures isn’t enough here. You need nice times and memories. 13. Save money! This tip is very useful as you will probably need money some day.      If you’re young and with a partner, talk about saving money.     These might be good to have is something unexpected happens. 14. Treat your parents with lots of love and kindness. You’re much younger than your parents, obviously,      and they’ve already go a lot of memories. Some day they will be gone forever and you have to show them      your love and tell them how much you love them, because one day it will be too late. 15. really do what YOU want to do in life and not let others tell you what they want you to do.   Questions   1. Let's talk about things to do from this article. 2. What's your case? Tell us about your things to do while you're young. 3. How about others? What's gonna be really good things to do? 4. What about that? Things to do when you're old?     Topic 2. Changing our memory   New research suggests the Internet is changing our memory. Researchers from Colombia University presented people with different questions and found many began to think of computers. Lead researcher Dr Betsy Sparrow said that when test participants knew the answers would be available on a computer, they did less well on the memory tests. She said we use the Internet as a new “transactive memory”. We rely on this to do the remembering for us. It’s similar to our personal data being backed up on a hard disk. The Internet acts as a huge storage device for all the world’s knowledge, that is there when we need it. Dr Sparrow said computers were not making us less intelligent. “I don't think Google is making us stupid. We're just changing the way that we're remembering things,” she said.   Dr Sparrow believes we are becoming very good at remembering where we keep information in different folders on our computers. She said: "This suggests that for the things we can find online, we tend to keep it online as far as memory is concerned - we keep it externally stored." She explained that because we are remembering the location of the information, rather than the information itself, we are becoming better at organising huge quantities of data and facts in a more accessible way. She also said the way we use technology is changing our need to remember things, saying: “If you can find stuff online even while you're walking down the street these days, then the skill to have, the thing to remember, is where to go to find the information."   Questions   1. How is your memory? How forgetful are you? 2. Do you think you have too much information online? 3. Have you ever forgot a password?    Do you remember passwords or let your computer remember them? 4. What techniques do you use to remember things? 5. Do you think the Internet is changing our memory? 6. Is there a relationship between computers and your memory? 7. Do you think computers are making us less or more intelligent? 8. Are computers having a negative impact on children?     그럼.. 토요일에 만나요.. 히히..
